El Hundimiento Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

This is the Sinking Waterfall that remained as a result of the natural modification that occurred in the middle of the 16th century in the upstream retention dam. This modification seems to have taken place in relation to the high rainfall that occurred throughout Spain and that led to the "sinking" of part of that natural rock dam that originally existed.

Laguna del Rey

Highlight • Lake

The King's Lagoon, one of the most emblematic lagoons in the Ruidera Lakes Natural Park:
It is located within the municipality of Ruidera (Ciudad Real), at the main entrance to the natural park.

It is one of the first lagoons you see when traveling through the park by road, very close to the town of Ruidera.
It stands out for the turquoise color of its waters, which in some places are reminiscent of the Caribbean.
It is photogenic and easily accessible, ideal for those looking for a place to relax or take a swim.
The bottom is clearly visible thanks to the water's transparency.

Plaza Mayor de Villanueva de los Infantes

The Plaza Mayor of Villanueva de los Infantes is considered one of the most beautiful main squares in Castilla-La Mancha, not in vain has it been declared a Historic-Artistic Site, with notable buildings such as the Town Hall, emblazoned mansions, porticoed gallery, the Hospital de Santiago, the Convent of Santo Domingo or the Church of San Andrés Apóstol.

San Carlos del Valle (Content)

Highlight • Settlement

San Carlos del Valle opens from its splendid Plaza Mayor with an orthogonal projection and an almost round perimeter. Everything extends around an origin of spokes, the center of that circumference, the church of Santísimo Cristo del Valle, where the peak of the compass overwhelms us. It is a late baroque church, with certain influences of the neoclassical style. It is an immense cube with four towers superimposed on its corners and an enormous dome that emerges above the building. The temple has four facades, two of which have in their center a main door of extraordinary beauty and well-deserved study.
